a w z To. all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH ALTMAN, a

citizen'j of the "United States, residing at lSpokane, in the. county of Spokane" and State o.f .Washington, have invented certainnew and useful-Improvements in Penhold-. 'ers, of which the. following is ,a specification,

- reference being hadtherein to the accomner as to avoid any comingin contact; W1th the hands of the panying drawing My ivention relates tov pen holders, and one of the objects thereof is to provide means for automatically discharging the pen from the holder when quires.

Another object of the invention is to pro-' ylde simple and effective. meansfor auto-1 matically discharging a pen in such a manpossibility of the pen user.

With these and other objects invieW, the

preferred embodiment "of my invention resldes 1n that construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described, illustratedkin the'accompanying drawings,and embraced within the scope 'of'the appended claims.

The other end "(12) of'the pusher blank utilized In said drawings :'Figure I is an elevation-of a pen holder embod ing my invention, and Fig. II is a longitudinalsection thereof Fig. III is a front end elevationof the pen. Fig. IV is a view of the blank of' one terminal of the pusher rod. Fig. V is a top plan view of the .pen releasing de-,

- I preferably employ a sheath'or case'com-q prising metallic end sections (5) and 6) e intermediate wooden. section and secured to the former sections.

tion is a pusher rod (9), havin the en-- larged extremital portion (10), so dered or otherwise secured thereto, and a coil spring (11) interposed between the base of said portion and the rabbeted terminal of the point 1,. preferably, employ a washer rod is originally in the form of a blank,

flexed to assume a cylindrical contour. Furthermore, the proxlmal end of the pusher rod is longitudinally slot-ted, as at 14, the said slot being designed for engagement with the depending, integrally formed er. tion (15) of the section (5), constitutin a portion of the sheath. The-function. of t is and its appurtenances. 'The en re easing da'ice (16) also comprises a. hunk, as exhibited in Fig. IX" ofth'edrawing's, the same being equipped with the "oppositely disposedlateral projections (17) and the centrally arranged extension (18' the gagement with the termmal when the releasing member has been bent in the-form shown in Fi In operatidriythe pen is securely held between the section 5)"ahd the releasingten. 1ni'nal-'(l6)', and whenit is desired to" remove the pen it is only necessalzygtoexerta' slight pressure on'the enlar e (10) or the terminal pusher rod wh1ch operation {slot andprojection (15) is obyiously to in sure a perfect guidance ,of the plun r rod and VI of causes the releasing member (16)." to' move and eflI'ectiVe and there is little if any, daii-I- ranged. g

It will-be seen fromthe foregoing [that the plunger rod 9 and pen ejector 16 being formed of sheet metal rolled intovtubular forms greatly cheapens their cost, owinito the fact that'they can be readily-blah ed ager of its component parts becoming deout by a punching and shaping machine. I

It will also be understood that the slot in 'the rod 9 provides a sim le and highly oiiicient means whereby the ongitudinal inove- 75 former projections being designed or.",enortion of the l pusher rod ..(9), and the a-tter for .en- 'gagement with the ,aperture (13) thereof,

'- ment of said rod may be guided by the inwardl projectin' and rther, sai

tions 17 of the pen ejector to have an interloekin engagement with said rod 9 at its slotte side, which terlocking engagements between vthe extensions 18 and aperture 13,-provides a strong connection between said rod and ejector on op osite sides thereof.-

at I claim is-:..-:-

' 1. In a pen holder, the

. .the body, of a tubu1ar:plunger rod therein surroun'din one end provided with a slot on one side and an opening on its other side, and a pen ejector of saidv rod and having an interloc ing engagement with the slot the combination with of a'tubular lunger' rod therein the v with a longitudinally arranged provided side slot and an opposite1ydisposed openlug 15 of the sheath 5, slot permits the projec-' supplemented by the in-.

combination with ing, and a pen ejector suirounding one end of said r0 and" provided with oppositely dis osed extensions 'for engagement with sai slot, and an end extension for engagei of sheet metal --r0lle ment with said 0 ening.-.

' 3. In a pen hol de1',-.th'e combination with the body, of a plun er rod therein formed d into tubular form and provided with a' longitudinal side slot and I an oppositel die osedopening and having one end e arg and a formed. ofjsheet metal rol ed into en ejector also tubular form and provided with extensions, said ejector surrounding the enlarged -end" of --said' rod and havingits extensions engaging with the slot and opening formed thlllh;

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature prese so of two witnesses.
